Handmade doll by Galina Maslennikova A2-12 Mariya with the raker

The typical image of a rural woman going to work in the field. When there were no tractors, grass mowers and combine harvesters, the main tool was the rake. Most likely, the lady needs to collect dried hay. In her other hand, Marya holds a tissue knot with food, which should be enough for all the hard work. There surely lies a loaf (after all, the bread in Russia is the whole head) and a jug of fruit or water. The face and legs of the doll are ceramic, the other parts of the body are sewn of cotton fabric and stuffed with cotton. The rake is made painstakingly and accurately, the material is wood. The costume is made of natural fabrics, decorated with braid with patterns. They are wearing bast shoes on their feet. Moscow province.
